The Autoball Project


What is Autoball?

This project aims to create a convenient framework for having fun with AI programming. Inspired by the RoboCup competitions, Autoball is a simplified game of soccer played in a simulated world. The players are programmable agents which can sense the world around them and react to it. Because Autoball players are implemented in C++, and no limits are placed on the resources each player can use, it is quick and simple to implement complex behaviors. The complexity of player intelligence is milited only by creativity, and by available computing power!

Status of the project

Autoball is currently in an early development phase. It is functional and can (and is) already being used to write surprisingly capable players! Code can be downloaded via anonymous CVS, and will compile (probably with some makefile tweaks) under linux and Mac OSX.
